Picket Fence - Brother Ali
I was up and out my mothers house at 17Been a grown a**married man ever since Family reunions I'mtalked about but never seen Cause I learned that some of them Can be your nemesis Got a lot of scars on me I'llnow tell you the stories If you promise not to take offense Homie sit back then hand bring the beat in I'lltry to find a place That starts to make sense now The first time I was pushed out blind Cold and naked spanked on the a**to breathe An immigrant from heaven on earth With a word piece I announce my self with gasps and screams Before black and white Supremacy heighted my innocence I was living out life behind the picket fence Happy go lucky scared of no one With the only exception I'mallergic to the sun Didn'tknow I had a image That a camera couldn'tcapture 100on mars manufacture But then came the laughter and outside I'mbattered Picket fence shattered I saw my self as bastard tagalong harassed and spat upon By the children of slave masters who passed it on The saddest songs been sung at the hands of Who I call the race from hell Its a disgrace from hell Fell face first in the self hate Burst into tears when I hear my own hellish name cursed If I seem timid its only because every mirror That I saw back then had the Earths ugliest human being in it And with that said they would kick me till They got tired or I act dead And I have to tell ya'llthat the obvious part That I always feel free when I'mtalking to god Alone on the playground friday afternoon And the old sister who hums gospel toons I saw her notice getting closer She approached me And put a knowing hand on my shoulder And booked my feelings Cause she looked at me in a way That adults very seldom look at children And with the wisdom only earned by years She read my thoughts and She welled up with tears and said You look the way you do because you'respecial Not the short bus way I mean That god'sgonna test you And all of this pain is training for the day when you Will have to lead with the gift god gave to you Grown folks don'tsee it but the babies do And there'sa chance that you can save a few And time will prove that she started my movement She didn'ttell me to take it she told me to use it The second time poppa ripped the womb open early And exposed me to the coldness life prematurely Where mom'slove used to live now housed denial And when that decayed it made it bitter and spiteful But me and my runaway we share something special Rode into the sunset can barely can tough the pedals No strings attached screaming f**kgeppetto We may live in the gutter but we cling to each other A week before my son came I caught a bad bounce And had to step to mom with my hands out And momma proved the two of us could not live in that house She lied to the police so they would throw us in the streets And separating from you is something that I feel I must do Its not that I don'tlove you its more that I don'ttrust you Its been a year since I'veseen a living relative And it'sjust now that I'mstarting to live But while I'msitting here choking on tears wishing that I didn'tcare Feeling all alone in this hemisphere I swear upon everything I hold dear And then my wife comes near and I hear a voice whisper in my ear You'regoing through all of this because you'respecial Not no superstar sh*tI mean that god had to test you And all of this pain has been training for the day when you Would lead us with the gift god gave to you Your parents might not see it but your babies do And there'sa chance that you can save a few And time will prove that she started my movement She didn'ttell me to take it she told me to use it So I use it Guitar score
